How do you show a typical 6-4-3 Double Play in the scorebook? Which player's box do you show it in? I have always struggled with where to put it.

I write "6-4-3" for the batter.
For the runner, I draw a short line from 1st, half-way to 2nd, and put a small "o" at the end -- and then write "6-4" somewhere near the "o".
Others may show it differently.
(It helps if you have a scorebook like Glover's that leaves you room to write that stuff.)

Similar method here but I bring a small line across the basepath to indicate the runner was not able to advance. It's just a preference but I can see a perpendicular line better than a line with an "o" at the end. 6-4 is indicated in the advancing runners score box along with a 1 circled (assuming it is the 1st out) the I put 6-4-3DP in the batters score box with a 2 circled to indicate the 2nd out (assuming again that the first out was made at second base).
I use the following notation. My assumption is that the SS gets an assist. The 2B gets and assist and an out and the 1B gets the out. The "D" just indicates a double-play.
6-4D in the R1 box with a half-way line between 1st and 2nd and 4-3D in the hitter's box.
Is this correct?

I do the same as jfsbndr but no line.
6-4 in the runner's box who is attempting to advance to 2B (with a circled 1 assuming first out, or 2 if second out), and 6-4-3 in the hitters box (with a circled 2 if second out or 3 if third out).
I try to keep my box scores simple and clean, as they get pretty full if a lot goes on.

I used the notation DP1 where first out made and DP2 where 2nd out made...so it would go
6-4 DP1
6-4-3 DP2
Just made it clear when looking back where the ball went. Also clearly showed where to give or not give twice on the assist
Can make a difference when not a routine situation
I didn't worry about showing the runner advance, just left the line from where he started
6-4 DP1
6-4-3 DP2

I generally show 643 GDP on the hitter, and put an "X" on the runner. I'm not sure this is correct for keeping score by hand, but I learned this while keeping score on The Automated Scorebook, and it works for me.
I would put 6-4-3 on the hitter, 6-4 on the runner, and then put a line up the side of the inning, joining the two in a little bracket. If it is the 9 hitter and the 1 hitter (e.g. they are a long way apart) then I draw a short line out to the side and put a circle with a one in it for the runner and a 2 in it for the hitter (or a 2 and a 3 if it is the 2nd and 3rd out).
As for the runner, on all put outs on base runners, I put a line halfway to the base they were running to and then a small x at the end of the line. So in this case, the runner on first would get a line halfway to second and then an x.

Wow, so many ways of doing it...
I put a 6-4-3 w/ a DP underneath for the hitter and simply put a line across the runner attempting to advance to second. I've always been able to figure out how the out to the runner happened.
